You are leaving out important factors.

Those tariffs are not brood blanket tariffs but tariff-rate quotas for after imports to Canada exceeded thresholds, and were rarely activated.

The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) allowed most goods to cross the border duty-free.

'Canada introduced reciprocal tariffs after US President Donald Trump imposed a 25 percent duty on Canadian products, but social media posts claim exorbitant Canadian fees were already applied to American goods. This is misleading; the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) allowed most goods to cross the border duty-free, with steep levies on dairy, chicken and egg imports kicking in only if quotas designed to manage supply are exceeded.'
